Hokkaido AcademyLet's go with Easy Go! To the unseen world...Student Application{{• The PrinciplesI can hear your voice that's slipping into the crowdFirst Name: 자윤 (Ja-Yoon)
Middle Name: Aerie
Last Name: 김 (Kim)
Nickname(s): She is mostly known as Aerie, because Ja-Yoon tends to
be hard to pronounce. People have also called her Aerie-kun, Ree, Ree-kun, and
Yoonie, and if a friendly Japanese suffix was attached, it was always somehow
"kun" and not "chan". As a tease, she's been called Sky
Muffin, Birdie, Piggy, Cow, Cowbird, and Stupid Chick to name a few.
Age: 15
Birthday: December 27
Race: Human
Element:
Water
{{• The ProficiencyI'm
searching for the the map of the future in the center of the
intersectionSpecial Ability: Ability to control water.
- Explanation & Limits of Gift:
This water control is based on the images in the mind, and the connection of the being to water. Basically, Ja-Yoon controls the water by bringing the images in her head to life. For example, if Ja-Yoon wants to put water in a cup, she has to actually imagine gathering water from the atmosphere, or any water source, and putting it into the cup.
Although it is a natural gift, meaning it's a given, it is useless without the help of mental activity. In short, if Ja-Yoon can't produce the images for whatever reason, she won't be able to control the water.
The origin of her power is a bit explained in her past.
Weapon: A solid, medium-weight baton about two feet long.
The baton, named 믿음 (
Mi-deum)
, or Trust, can extend into a staff that
is about five-feet-five-inches long, which is a bit taller than she is. Trust
is basically just a baton that can extend into a staff.
{{• The PresenceI
believed in dreams always coming true on the other side of the
sky!Physical
Looks: Ja-Yoon, as her name suggests, is Korean. She is about
five-foot-two, which is on the shorter end for someone her age. Her body is not noticeably skinny or chubby, and it is best described as an average hourglass shape. She is not buff or stick-skinny but lightly muscled.
Her skin is normally a bit on the pale side, as in the "Asian" pale, but she is lightly tanned. Unfortunately, her complexion isn't perfect (yet, anyway. Probably due to raging hormones? xD), and she does have the occasional acne. She doesn't like make-up, and never wears any.
Her eyes are a normal size, though it would be considered big if they were to be compared to the stereotypical "chinky" Asian eyes (I'm so very sorry if that offended anyone... >x<). They are a warm, dark-ish chestnut color, though they do turn much lighter in the sun. She wears silver, rectangle-shaped glasses, with a rim only on the top of the lenses and down the sides. She sometimes wears contacts and hopes to have a life of perfect vision without glasses or contacts some day.
Her hair is almost waist-length and naturally wavy, but because her hair is so long and thick, it is weighed down by its own... weight, and is often seen as straight, though not as if it were Magic-straightened. It is a medium-brown, and in the sun, it is much lighter, and natural red, yellow, and orange highlights are able to be seen. Ja-Yoon normally keeps her hair down, though she may put it up if it comes to it. She hates doing "unnatural" things to her hair, like straightening, curling, styling in general, highlighting, dying, etc., even if it's temporary.
When it comes to clothing... she has her own taste. The basic philosophy is pretty (in her eyes) and comfortable (enough for her). The "pretty" part completely depends on whatever she feels like, so it might be Gothic Lolita one day, tomboy the next, preppy the day after, and girlie after that. She usually prefers darker colors, or dark colors with complementing light or bright colors. Her other philosophy on clothes might be 'Black goes well with anything,' as she loves to wear black.
{{• The PersonaWhat is there beyond the night? There are times filled with anxietyGeneral
Attitude/Personality: Ja-Yoon is normally a shy, calm, nice, and quiet girl. On the contrary, this is the side that she rarely shows. The way she acts usually differs depending on the person that she is acting in front of. She likes to please people and to make people happy, so basically, she acts in a way that she thinks (or hopes) that the receiving person will accept. For example, in front of one person, she can be completely wacko, hyper, and fun, and in front of another, she can be cool, collected, and mild.
However, no matter which persona she takes on, she always tries her best to be kind, understanding, patient, and sweet, in addition to the molded personality. She tries her hardest not to use profanity and her best not to get mad, or anything along the lines of that.
She is also a very good listener, though she avoids talking about herself at all costs; she will refuse to admit her troubles to anyone, because she hates the feeling of being a burden of any kind to anyone. She will even go to the point of lying. She believes in lying for a good cause.
In addition, Ja-Yoon is very big on keeping secrets that need to be kept secret, whether they belong to her or not. Basically, she's really good at keeping secrets.
The reality is, she currently (meaning before entering H.A.) believes that (aside from some very special strangers and one other, who will be briefly mentioned in the past) she has no one to call a true friend.
Goals: To help animals. To help humankind. To help and be useful in general. To be positive no matter what the situation. To simply live life. To go to Heaven.
Likes: Animals, tennis, swimming, learning new things, music, being alone, being with friends, family, friends, nature, sky, grass, singing, playing the violin and piano, drums, guitars, instruments, freedom, fresh air, reading, playing outside, a lot of things xD
Dislikes: Fighting, conflicts, studying, sleeping (She actually quite enjoys sleeping, though she wishes she never had to), eating (the same concept as sleeping), seeing lots of blood, horror/gore movies. She also generally dislikes people in general and thinks disapprovingly of "shallow" people (For example, girls/guys that say/think things like, "Omg, he/she's so hot!"), but as stated in her personality, there are some things that she keeps absolutely secret. Such as these two dislikes. She never shows signs of them.
Bad Habits: Ja-Yoon is usually a horrible procrastinator. She always gets things done on time, but procrastinating is truly a bad habit. In addition, she can be a bit lazy at times (though she rarely is if one of her friends are in need).
Also, this might not count as a necessarily "bad" habit, but she has the tendency to "touch" her hair when she's nervous or thinking hard, or anything along those lines. She finger-combs, smooths, twirls, or tugs a lock of hair when this happens. The more rare alternative to playing with her hair is chewing her thumb.
Another sign of nervousness, or unusual fidgety-ness is the swinging or moving of her legs (which can kind of be described as keeping her toes on the ground and bouncing her heel up and down, thus shaking her whole leg).
Fears: Dying (though she wouldn't think twice about giving up her life for someone else), pain, torture, freaky-looking dolls that come alive at night and kill people, anything really freaky like that, people hating/disliking her for the wrong reason (If people hated her for who she actually was, she could accept that), hurting other people (whether it's emotionally, physically, etc.), crying in public, burdening other people, drawing too much attention, getting in trouble, going to Hell
Other: I didn't really know where else to put this, but...
Ja-Yoon has a special companion. He is a barn owl (
Tyto alba) named 현기 (Hyun-Gi), and a fairly normal one at that. The only special thing about him is that he has a human form, and as a barn owl, he can speak into one's mind.
Here's his picture as a human:
That's what he basically looks like, though his eyes are brown, not purple, and he doesn't have a tattoo, or a piercing, or anything. His hair is brown, and he looks about 17, though his definite age isn't quite known. He usually doesn't care what he's wearing, but Ja-Yoon makes sure that he fits in, so his style is somewhat similar to Ja-Yoon's, though in a more masculine way.
This is him as his primary form, the
Tyto alba form (I put it in spoiler because the picture is kind of... huge, and the Host Image button isn't working properly at the moment... My apologies.):
- Spoiler:
He is like most other ordinary barn owls with the traditional white, heart-shaped face, white under-feathers, brown-ish, black-ish "upper" feathers, and black eyes. As mentioned before, he is a barn owl that can turn into a human, not a human that can turn into a barn owl.
His personality is somewhat formal. He is remarkably loyal to Ja-Yoon, and although he doesn't show it outright, cares for her deeply. He and Ja-Yoon are very much in harmony, when it comes to their relationship. It is best described as, "They click." They are also somewhat similar, personality-wise, which might explain how the two came to be so close.
Because of the way they behave towards each other and the way they look fairly similar, they are often mistaken as being siblings.
When Hyun-Gi fights, he does not have any special power. As an owl, he uses his talons and beak, and as a human, which is a bit more awkward, he uses his knowledge of the Korean martial arts, 태권도 (Tae-Kwon-Do), and prefers to fight bare-handed (like a true animal).
{{• The PastEven

zeroParents: Mother- 김은해 (Kim, Eun-Jae) (alive and well)
Father- 김대환 (Kim, Dae-Hwan) (alive and well)
Siblings: Sister- 김이슬 or Lily Kim (Kim, Yee-Seul Lily) (alive and well, a year and a half younger)
History:
Ja-Yoon was born in 서울, 한국 (Seoul, Korea), and she lived a fairly normal life.
However, at one point in her life, she came across some very special strangers that became some of her best friends. She met Hyun-Gi at some point after meeting these people. Many things happened (and this is a whole another story) which eventually led to Ja-Yoon's death.
Luckily for her, she was given a second chance at life, still as a human, but with the gift of being able to manipulate water. Her family knows nothing about Ja-Yoon's special friends, including Hyun-Gi, nor of her special power. They especially know nothing of her first death.
Even today, Ja-Yoon lives a life of secrecy from her family. They have no idea that Hokkaido Academy is chockful of beings that supposedly appear only in fairytales. They assume it to be a regular academy, and Ja-Yoon struggles to keep them from thinking otherwise.
